Storyboards!

Right, so here's the first go at the story boards. This one is based from the initial idea.



These helped me with seeing how the story was going to read. The camera angles and most the shots needed to be editted due to the horizon line being very high, giving it a voyueristic view; a detached feeling, so the audience wouldn't feel part of it. So more close ups and lower horizons needed.
The Egg coming through the window idea jarred with Rob and Johnny. So after talking to them about it, it needs changing. I've decided to go for the Droppy-esque "No matter where you put him, he'll always come back" idea. Now back to the drawing board!

Here's the 2nd go, with more interesting shots and alot more boards...



After putting these into Premier, in the 3 minutes, some of it feels too rushed with too many shots for a particular scene. So going to have to go through and edit out the unecessary frames. Also there doesn't seem to be enough emphasis on the importance of the can tower to the character and now seems out of place. Instead, I'm going to have the Egg bounce off the walls, tables and sofa after being dropkicked and hit the TV instead, as there is quite abit of emphasis of Axl trying to watch the match; it flows better that way, so just a couple more shots to make it clearer. That way it can be based in one room as well, saving time of modelling an outdoors set. So the stacking shots can be taken out, but I'm keeping the can opening shots as they can be a useful way to transition between shots/scenes. 3rd (and hopefully final) storyboards to be up soon, following the script I posted before post.
